???????????????? ???????????????? ???????? ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ????????????????????????????┃Fisheries and Marine Conservation〗— ❐ S1-2 Marine fisheries and conservation in the Saudi waters in the Arabian/Persian Gulf ❐
Saudi Arabia has a long coastal line in the Arabian/Persian Gulf. The fisheries have played an important role in supporting the livelihood of the residents for thousands of years. The Saudi fisheries in the Arabian Gulf are characterized by low levels of industrialization and high dependance on coral-reef associated fishes. Bottom trawling for the shrimp was introduced in the 1970s and contributed considerably to the landings. A fishing season was later enforced to limit the destruction to marine habitats. For the extraction and process of oil, the oil-industries have installed hundreds of facilities in the Arabian Gulf. These facilities have an unprecedented effect of being a de facto marine protected area in which fishing activities were not allowed for security reasons.

This early career's conference on sustainable development science focuses on the fishery and ocean protection of the Arab/Persian Gulf. Dr. Lin Yujia, assistant professor of the Institute of Marine Ecology and Conservation, National Sun Yat -sen University in Taiwan, gave a speech in the first session, which involved marine fisheries and protection in Saudi waters.Dr. Lin Yujia pointed out in his speech that the Bay of Arabia is a subtropical seas with extreme physical and environmental characteristics, and there are great differences in salinity and temperature. In Saudi Arabia, fish is one of the largest renewable aquatic biological resources and plays an important role in the country's food safety, economic and traditional culture. Most of the fisheries caught fisheries from the Arab Bay. In 2015, nearly 2,000 handicraft boats and about 3,000 fishermen worked in the waters.In addition, the speech also discussed some fishery activities around the oil well platform, especially the exclusion effect of dragging the net fisheries, because the platform structure may damage the gangster, forcing fishermen to keep the distance. In addition. Non -expected protection areas around the oily well may have a positive impact on fishery and ocean protection in the Bay of Arabia.In short, this meeting provided in -depth insights facing the challenges and opportunities facing the Arab Bay marine fishery and protection, and emphasized that sustainable practice to maintain food safety, economy and traditional culture in the region.
